🛑🔥Imagine you're in Powell’s position. The Federal Reserve is bound to focus on hard data, not surveys. And as of now, the hard data doesn't indicate any major issues. This is precisely why the Fed has often found itself reacting too late.

If Powell were to call an emergency meeting and cut rates, markets might feel temporary relief. However, if that decision ends up fueling inflation while growth continues to decline, making monetary policy ineffective, what happens then? Would you want to be remembered as the Fed Chair who set off a depression?

Moreover, at the moment, the responsibility seems to lie with Trump. Why would Powell take that risk and shift the blame onto himself?#PowellRemarks #powel #Fed #TrumpTariffs #RiskRewardRatio
